Beer/Wine - Mixed Beverages Local Option Election Saturday

Tyler County Booster

A long-anticipated and very controversial local option election will be held Saturday in JP Precinct 2. At issue is the sale of beer and wine for off-premises consumption, and the sale of mixed beverages in restaurants. Over the years a number of attempts have been made to gain enough names on petitions to get this issue on the ballet. This year the petition was successful and thus the election Saturday. Voting locations are Woodville Fire Station, Masonic Lodge in Woodville, Chester Lions Den and Bethany Baptist Church in Colmesneil. These locations will be open from 7 a.m. until 7p.m.
